According to the study in the Proceedings of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, Fathers who are preferred to have childrenuntil they’re almost at the age of 40 may provide their offspring alonger life. The children will inherit the longer telomeres, caps at theend of the chromosomes which then protects them from the so-called degeneration. The longer telomeres provide slower aging andmay mean a longer lifespan. However, based from the research theolder a man reproduces child is likely to produce disorders likeautism. Moreover, older fathers have a chance to lower intelligencescores than those born to younger men.

A study author and doctoral student at NorthwesternUniversity in Evanston, Illinois- Dan Eisenberg. He said that most ofliterature also suggests risks from paternal age .The longer telomersemay delay sexual development, and direct the body’s energy intomaintaining itself and staying healthy, he added. In addition, the latefatherhood may serve as a signal that mortality rates are low.Thebenefit was also seen in grandchildren of men who became fathersat later ages. The correlation held regardless of whether the families wererich or poor, the study said.A report released in Micron Associates from the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, American men have their first child at theage of 25.

Sugar is one of the three kinds of carbohydrate: starch, fiber and sugar.Sugar is found only in foods of plant origin. In food, sugar is classified as eithernaturally occurring or added. Naturally occurring sugars include lactose in milk,fructose in fruit, honey and vegetables and maltose in beer. Added sugarsoriginate from corn, beets, grapes, and sugar cane, which are processed beforebeing added to foods. The body cannot tell the difference between naturallyoccurring and added sugars because they are identical chemically. Although,food sources of naturally occurring sugars also provide vitamins and minerals,while foods containing added sugars provides mainly calories and very fewvitamins and minerals. For this reason, the calories in added sugar are called“empty calories”. Furthermore the added sugar, which does not contain vitamins andminerals, displaces nutritious food in the diet. High intakes of sugar promoteovereating because of its stimulating taste. Excess calories consumed over timeresult in obesity with its innumerable of health risks and problems. A highsugar intake is closely associated with dental caries especially when the sugar iseaten as a sticky food.

Although all sugar provides the body with energy, how quickly thebody breaks it down affects the blood sugar levels. The body breaks downsimple sugars quickly as one of the bitter taste of sugar, causing a spike inblood sugar levels . The body responds by producing and releasing insulin, ahormone produced by the cells in the pancreas necessary for cells to intakeglucose. Over time, the increased demand on the pancreatic cells can makethem wear out, leading to a decrease in insulin production. This insulinresistance can cause diabetes and contribute to heart disease risk factorslike high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol levels. This negativeeffect on blood sugar is a disadvantage of some sugar molecules. MicronAssociates said that the body breaks down other types of sugar, such asfiber and some of the starch, slowly which helps to keep blood sugar levelsconstant. This not only reduces the strain on insulin production, but it alsohelps in maintaining a constant weight.

Many foods that contain sugar also contain a large number of calories anda high fat content. These factors together can contribute to weight gain. Foods thatcontain added sugar, those that do not occur naturally, also cause weight gain thatcan lead to obesity. The more sugar added to a food, the more calories it has.Because most of the foods that contain a large amount of added sugar, like softdrinks and desserts, also contain very few if any nutrients nutritionists classifythem as nutrient-poor foods, also known as empty calories. Moreover, sugar cangive you its bitter taste by attacking your body with insomnia, dizziness, allergies,manic depression, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hypoglycemia, colon andpancreatic cancer, hair loss, ADD/ADHD, breakouts and skin irritation, tooth decay,metabolic syndrome and even the worst type2 diabetes. Consuming a lot of empty calories means that you cannot get yourrequired nutrients in the required amount of calories resulting in the consumptionof too many calories. Therefore, sugar in general is associated with weight gain andobesity, a condition that affects nearly one-third of adults in the United States andone of the growing disease in this developing world.

A new study suggests that using Facebook can be bad forpeople with low self-esteem. Canadian researchers found people with low self-esteemsurge their Facebook friends with negative details about their lives,which makes them less likeable. Many people with low self-esteemare uncomfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings face-to-face,but Facebook enables them to do this remotely, explained studyauthor Amanda Forest, a graduate student at the University ofWaterloo, in Ontario. “We had this idea that Facebook could be a really fantasticplace for people to strengthen their relationships,” Forest said in ajournal news release.

However, while people with low self-esteem may feel safer makingpersonal disclosures on Facebook, doing so may actually cause themsocial harm.“If you’re talking to somebody in person and you say something, youmight get some indication that they don’t like it, that they’re sick ofhearing your negativity,” Forest said.But when people have a negative reaction to a post on Facebook,they tend to keep it to themselves.“On Facebook, you don’t see most of the reactions,” Forest added
